The NFL made a smart choice when it decided to relax its touchdown celebration rules.

The Detroit Lions are having a tough time against the New Orleans Saints this afternoon, down 31-10 as of halftime. But Lions wide receiver Golden Tate's having a solid game, with 3 catches for 70 yards, including a 45-yard touchdown catch in which he did a full front flip into the end zone.

After that, however, was the real touchdown celebration: A "People's Elbow" on the football, a finishing move popularized by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson during his time as a star wrestler with World Wrestling Entertainment.
